Popcorn Capacity
What a great way to start a maths lesson. The students talked about capacity and predicted, guessing which container would hold more. They got to make the containers to verify their thinking. The best part according to the students was when I brought out the POPCORN! Check out this episode of Class onAir to see what happened.
What I like about using these tasks is I can engage a range of students with maths and then teach them the relevant skills they need to move to the next step, such as using formulas to work out the capacity on a container.
